Geometry, Plane Geometry

Plane Geometry concerns figures and shapes on a flat, two-dimensional surface. It covers properties of points, lines, angles, polygons (like triangles and quadrilaterals), and circles. Questions typically involve proofs, constructions, and calculations related to these elements.

• Question

  The numbers `1,2,3,4,5` are written at the vertices of a regular pentagon, with each number at exactly one vertex. A trio of vertices is called successful if it forms an isosceles triangle, where the number at its apex is greater than the numbers at the other two vertices, or where the number at its apex is smaller than the numbers at the other two vertices.

  Find the maximum number of successful trios that can exist.
